Embedded Content and External Links
Our pages may contain embedded videos, social-media content, or links from services such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and X. These services may collect information according to their own privacy policies when you interact with their content.
Links to outside websites are provided for convenience. Full Court Dream is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.
Full Court Dream Publishing Store
Purchases made through books.fullcourtdream.com are processed through Shopify and its payment providers. Those services may collect payment, billing, shipping, and transaction information under their own privacy policies. Full Court Dream does not directly store complete payment-card information.
Children’s Privacy
FullCourtDream.com is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information directly from children under 13.
Children under 13 should not submit personal information through the website. A parent or legal guardian should contact us on their behalf. If we learn that we collected personal information directly from a child under 13 without appropriate permission, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, our editorial records, legitimate business needs, or legal requirements.
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
